The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of showers and storms off the southeast U.S. coast. This is associated with a broad surface trough of low pressure that is forecast to move inland during the next few days and bring some showers and storms. This area is in a marginally favorable area for development. NHC is giving this system a low 10% formation chance within 48 hours and 7 days. Upper-level conditions don't seem that favorable in this area at this time.
Elsewhere, the Climate Prediction Center is calling for no tropical cyclone formation through July 30th. However, since atmospheric conditions can change, I will continue to monitor as usual.
Yesterday, forecasters at Colorado State University raised their forecast to 12 more for the season, for a total of 25 for the 2024 season. Beryl being the earliest cat 5 to develop in a season has prompted this urgency to up their forecast, making this a hyperactive hurricane season. Although we will be in a lull for a few weeks, forecasters say it will be short-lived and August will come in like a roaring lion.
So take time to reinforce your house and be hurricane-ready. Have a plan of action for you and your family, and don't forget your pets. I am not trying to scare you all; I am just making sure you take this season seriously and prepare early instead of later.
